In these documents, National Human Rights Institutions, inter alia, committed themselves to reinforcing their interaction with the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) in relation to women’s human rights. Among the principles and areas of work agreed upon is facilitating women’s and girls’ access to justice, including judicial and non-judicial remedies. The NHRIs consider that there can be no substantial and effective gender equality without effective judicial protection, which includes access to justice, a fair trial, effective sanctions and effective implementation of judicial decisions.
